Activity description

Enjoy an incredible nature outing by participating in a guided hike in the Agriates desert in Haute-Corse!

Between L'Île-Rousse and Saint-Florent, the Agriates desert is a preserved natural area in the north of Corsica that must be visited at all costs on the island. And to do so, a guided walking tour is the ideal activity! With a guide at your side who is passionate about the region and knows it like the back of his hand, you will be sure to discover the Agriates desert in the most beautiful way with your family and friends, as this is a private excursion.

Depending on your choice, this hike in the Agriates desert can be done for half a day or a whole day. The guide, Jean-Baptiste, will be happy to adapt the pace and length of the outing to your level and your desires! Departing from the Domaine de l'Ostriconi, near Balagne and L'Île-Rousse, you will wander along the paths to the west of the Agriates desert to discover its wild beaches (Ostriconi beach, Vana beach, Acciolu beach), as well as its most beautiful 360° viewpoints overlooking the sea on one side and the mountains on the other.

With a swimming break in the turquoise waters of the Mediterranean Sea and breathtaking panoramas along the way, this private hike in the Agriates desert has everything to seduce you!
